I switch between two mics all the time depending on what I'm doing - a headset when I'm on calls or moving around, and a desk mic the rest of the time. Right now changing the input device in Handy means opening the full settings window, which is a lot of friction for what is basicly a two second action I do several times a day.
Possible solution
Add a microphone selector to the tray menu, so you can switch the input device in two clicks without opening settings.
Something like:

Quit
Tray icon -> Microphone submenu -> list of available input devices, with the currently active one checked
Selection takes effect immediatly
Maybe hide the Microphone menu if there's only one mic anyway
Alternatives considered
Just using the OS default device and switching at the system level - but I don't always want Handy to follow the system default (eg system audio going to speakers but dictation on the desk mic)
A "follow system default" option in that same submenu could complement this nicely for users who do want that behaviour
